Which type of correlation is suggested by the scatter plot?

a. positive correlation
b. negative correlation
c. equal correlation
d. no correlation

The correct answer is A. Positive correlation

Explanation:

A positive correlation occurs as two variables move together as one variable increases or decrease only if the other does the same. For example, the amount of money you pay for a taxi service increases with distance. This is the opposite of the negative correlation in which one variable increases and the other decreases or vice-versa.

Additionally, in graphics such as scatter plots positive correlation can be identified in the case the values in the two axes (y,w) move in the same direction. This occurs in the scatter plot presented because as values increase in the x or horizontal axis, they increase int he y or vertical axis, which indicates one variable increases with the other.
